12% more electricity than the median of 30 comparable 250–349 L upright freezer registrations (262 kWh a year). It uses less than 17% of them. At 32c/kWh that is about $10 a year more than the median, $98 over 10 years.

Uses 44% less than the maximum allowed for its size and type under the minimum energy performance standard (525 kWh a year MEPS level).

How efficient is it for its size?

kWh per year. Bar: the middle 80% of 30 comparable 250–349 L upright freezer registrations. Dot: this model (above the median). Hover or tab to a mark for its value.

Cohort: every currently registered 250–349 L upright freezer sold in Australia, counted once per registration. Star ratings already account for size through the GEMS adjusted-volume formula; this comparison is in raw kWh against models a buyer would actually consider instead.
